That Kilburne 1977 show is considered a disaster by many.

They booked it to get footage for The Kids Are Alright biopic. However, Moon was in terrible shape. The band hadn’t practiced in almost a year. It all shows in the performances. Even Pete makes some comments to that effect during the concert.

While the poor sound quality was blamed for it not being used in TKAA, it’s easy to see why the greatest live band ever chose against its inclusion.

Parenthetically, the later 78 show at Kilburne did produce Baba and WGFA for TKAA, but Moon was still out of practice and years of alcoholism took its toll on his drumming powers.

There are some good moments, and on a bad night the Who still blows away almost every band. That said, (I think) it pales compared to Wight and other earlier concerts like Leeds.
